I'm slightly disappointed by the mid-wingspan but this is still great size if he's going to be a lead ball handler.

i think jarace walker might be the most underrated athlete of the lottery picks.

his mobility is SF-level and his standing vert clocking in at 34.5" (which matches his tape) while weighing 250 pounds is NFL-level and those guys live in the gym.

i'm not just saying this because i love his game overall and really want the pistons to take him at 5...

That 6-9 number is a solid number for Dick. High 6s isnt anything to write home about, but nothing to be ashamed about either. If he were able to reach that 7 category, we'd really be gushing about his size.

Why hasn't there been any buzz about the scrimmages? I'm assuming that they were occurring today & tomorrow.

I know most of the high-end talent is sitting out, but I would expect at least SOME reports about who looked good... Maybe I just dont follow the correct people.

I keep saying, watch him and watch Artest move. It's similar. I love this kid. One of the few kids I love in this class which is basically Giannis class plus Scoot and the Thompsons. Obviously the Giannis of this class is polished and from France. He's one of the guys I know will hit.

Last year, my top guy was Jalen Williams for the Hawks by a mile and damn OKC took him in front of us. This year, it's this kid. I am falling in love with him and planning to shoot up the draft board

I just watched both scrimmages and it's surprising how little NBA talent there was. Some of these guys I've seen mocked in the first round wouldn't be first rounders in most drafts. Podziemski looked good but I doubt he'll get a real chance in the NBA but he has starting point guard ability. Tristan Vukcevic opened some eyes. He was probably the one guy on the court for both games that has the size and skills to easily translate to the NBA and it wouldn't surprise me if he's rapidly climbing up draft boards. I'm starting to feel very pessimistic about the Kings being able to draft anyone worthwhile to replace Barnes at #24 :(

Most 1st round prospects don't scrimmage. Nothing new to the process.

Kings will be fine with lots of guys at #24.
